Amber Cheney

Every person has a voice and Amber believes it is important for that voice to be heard. Relationships can be messy and complicated. Our voices can often feel lost in the chaos. She works with clients to help them be, and feel, heard. In addition, she believes that no two experiences are the same. This means that even siblings raised together will have different perspectives and experiences of their childhood. These differences can lead people to define the world differently than others around them. Amber helps clients to identify these differences and explore the behavioral and emotional impact they have on current relationships. The hope is that through understanding and appreciating the individuality that all clients bring into therapy, each client can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.
